we forget that in american foreign policy until the fall of the soviet union the entire focus was basically the soviet union and communism and things that emanated from it. the intelligence community, the counterintelligence community was focused on communism. as the conservative movement grew into the 60s and 70s continually communism was the focus. as i mentioned there were other strands of it, the libertarians are economic conservatives, some of whom were critical of the anti communists because they thought it meant it would increase the size of government but nevertheless they were second stringers if you will. haty hatyek, contemporaries of chambers and russell kirk, one represented the other two strands but until the 70s probably communism was the dominant thing. something i have wondered about is when ronald reagan was elected, as you look at the history of the conservative movement anti communism became less of a deal and with ronald reagan the people who were anti-communist felt they had an anticommunist in charge who was commander in chief and felt comfortable letting him fight co
